1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is currently difficult to prevent and treat due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of its molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to identify genes potentially involved in the pathogenesis of RM and to observe their expression in the decidual tissues of RM patients. A total of 1823 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 148 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in decidual tissues between RM and control groups were identified. Subsequently, DCN, DPT, LUM, MFAP4, and ISG15 were identified from the DEGs/DEPs as RM-related hub genes through systematic bioinformatics analysis. Bioinformatics analysis of the single-cell dataset GSE214607 revealed that the expression of these five hub genes in the decidual stromal cells (DSCs) of RM patients appeared to be upregulated, while the RT-qPCR assay showed that their decidual expression levels were significantly increased in RM patients. Uterine Isg15 expression was significantly increased, whereas the uterine expression of Dcn, Dpt, Lum, and Mfap4 was decreased in LPS-induced early pregnancy loss (EPL) mice. MiR-16-5p, -21-3p, -27a-3p, and -941 were identified as potentially involved in the regulation of these five hub genes, and their decidual expression levels were significantly decreased in RM patients. The abnormally increased ISG15 expression in the decidual tissues of RM patients and uterine tissues of LPS-induced mice was validated by WB analysis. ISG15 expression was significantly reduced during the in vitro decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs). Collectively, DCN, DPT, LUM, MFAP4, and ISG15 were identified as RM-related hub genes, and their expression in the decidual tissues of RM patients was significantly increased. The decidualization of hESCs was accompanied by reduced ISG15 expression, suggesting that increased decidual ISG15 expression might lead to EPL by disrupting the decidualization process.
